iscsi reload not present with RHEL 5

skt_skt — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:21:20 GMT

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)

iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.865-0.8.el5

We have "/etc/init.d/iscsi reload" with RHEL 3 servers while the same is absent for RHEL which is preventing us to scan the new LUNS online

Any one know of any fix or work around??

To scan luns on line this usually works for us:

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan

Where X is HBA number.

You may also have to issue a lip:

echo 1 > /sys/class/fc_host/hostX/issue_lip

Here are some good links:

"iscsiadm -m session --rescan" did the magic

Last time I've used this one, provided from James - http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Online_Storage_Reconfiguration_Guide/scanning_for_new_devices.html

and it working perfect.
